Lady
Imogen Moore hasn’t had an easy time of it since she made her Come Out
three Seasons ago. With her betrothed, a powerful duke breaking it off
to wed her sister, she’s become the tons favorite piece of
gossip. Never again wanting to experience the pain of a broken heart,
she’s resolved to make a match with a polite, respectable gentleman. The
last thing she wants is another reckless rogue.
Lord
Alex Edgerton has a problem. Tired of Alex’s carousing, his eldest
brother has charged him with chaperoning their remaining, unwed sister
about ton events. Shopping? No, thank you. Attending the theatre? He’d rather be at Forbidden Pleasures with a scantily
clad beauty upon his lap. The task of chaperone becomes even more of a
bother when his sister drags along her friend, Lady Imogen Moore to
social functions. The last thing he wants in his life is a young,
innocent English miss.
So if
you have read my blog or reviews over the past few months you would know I am absolutely
IN LOVE with all of the heroes in Christi Caldwell’s books. Well we are going
to add another one today called Alex!
Poor
Imogen; not only did she commit a gross faux pas at Almack’s, but now she has
to live through the embarrassment of her sister marring the man to which she
was betrothed. So now she has to suffer through the snide remarks and the
gossiping women of the ton and at times, her own mother. She has one refuge,
her best friend Chloe Edgerton.
Sir
Alex Edgerton (Chloe’s brother) has managed to survive a horrendous childhood
and has become a reckless rake to take away his pain and memories. But now his
brother Gabriel has cut him off; unless he becomes chaperone to his sister
Chloe and by default to Lady Imogen too. It is only then does he see how Imogen
suffers at the hands of her peers and her own family and he strives to protect
her.
But
when it becomes Alex’s protectiveness public knowledge, he is stopped in his
tracks by monsters of the past.
So
when it comes to the characters, what struck me first is that Imogen and the
Edgerton’s back stories are truly stories of survivors and honestly, who couldn’t
fall in love with Alex and his need to protect the women in his life. I would
love to see both Chloe and Gabriel find their true loves as well.
Once
again Christi Caldwell blows me away with her beautifully moving story, which
literally moved me to tears. The writing is flawless and smooth story
and it lacks for nothing. So with all that being said, I give The Love of a
Rogue 10 out of 10.
USA Today Bestselling author, Christi Caldwell blames Judith
McNaught's "Whitney, My Love," for luring her into the world of
historical romance. While sitting in her graduate school apartment at
the University of Connecticut, Christi decided to set aside her notes
and try her hand at writing romance. She believes the most perfect
heroes and heroines have imperfections and she rather enjoys tormenting
them before crafting a well-deserved happily ever after!
Christi
makes her home in Southern Connecticut where she spends her time
writing, chasing around her feisty six-year old son and caring for her
twin princesses in training!
